GREAT AGAIN: April Tax Revenue Was BEST IN US HISTORY According to CBO

posted by Hannity Staff - 5.08.18

The Congressional Budget Office released new figures Tuesday showing the federal government took in a record-breaking tax haul in April; smashing previous budget estimates and signaling a growing US economy.

The CBO report shows the United States collected over $515 billion last month; spending just $297 billion and leaving a total monthly surplus of nearly $220 billion; smashing the previous record of $190 billion set in 2001.

“Those payments were mostly related to economic activity in 2017 and may reflect stronger-than-expected income growth in that year,” said one analyst. “Part of the strength in receipts also may reflect larger-than-anticipated payments for economic activity in 2018. The reasons for the added revenues will be better understood as more detailed information becomes available later this year.”

The staggering surplus comes on the heels of record low unemployment and jobless benefits; highlighting a roaring US economy just months after President Trump signed the sweeping tax overhaul into law.
